Turquoise cloth, gilt. A very fine copy with very fine pictorial dust jacket. Includes 537 photographs and 19 maps.

Includes a detailed appendix of engine rosters and other statistical material. First published in 1964, this updated edition covers the history of the three lines which continued to operate after the demise of the Rutland Railroad - the Vermont Railway, the Green Mountain Railroad, and the Ogdensburg Bridge and Port Authority.
